I wouldn't mind carrying a huge hand cannon (Think S&W500), but I'm not sure how that would work. Dual wielding is a nifty concept but I don't think it matches the hunter feel, wouldn't mind it though.

Maybe New Hero Class some kinda combinate hunter with rogue. 1hx2 pistols or 2h bow/gun/xbow depends what you like. Also Hunter would be able to use 1h guns too. Class without pet sounds awesome right? I am dreamer ;/ never gonna happend :S

Instead of adding a new hero class or a new race or whatever for the next expac they should just add a 4th spec to all classes, and thus create a hunter spec dedicated to duel wielding small ranged weapons. Also marksman needs to be that dedicated no pet spec that some hunters have wanted so long.

On a more serious note, the only way I could see them making this happen is if the next class uses ranged weapons, basically the loot tables right now can be annoying enough for a hunter to gear up.

Instead creating a dedicated petless spec with new spells ecc., if they use that time to fix pet ai no one would need a petless spec

My thought. Huh? what? why?
Discuss. To what end? if you want to duel wield then roll a rogue, shammy, warrior or something that can.

I come from a time and a place where I judge people by the content of their character; I don't give a damn if you are tall or short; gay or straight; Jew or Gentile; White, Black, Brown or Green; Conservative or Liberal.

while it would be so awesome, just like people mention before, adding yet a new weapon type only usable by 1 class is not good. ALSO, since bow/xbows/guns are hunter only, they had to limit their accessibility, so they would not become wasted loot after 2-3 weeks, but it has the effect of being very hard to find for a hunter (i was lucky to finaly get a bow in 5.2, when I was stuck with a dungeon blue since 5.0. Imagine now trying to collect 2 1handed weapons. Oh god, save me, unless the 2 1handed are in fact a 2 handed gun with only visuals of 2 hand guns, that could work, and be great.

Give 1-handed Pistols to Hunters, Rogues and Warriors, while creating a new profession (possibly wood working), that can create them. That or give it to Blacksmithing

Or you know...Engineering, which already creates guns. I don't see why it wouldn't be able to make smaller guns as well if they were added lol.

It would attach these visual contraptions to your legs that hold extra clips and after dropping the current clips from your guns, your character would quickly swing the guns down to pop the new clips into them. Or they could just be magic guns that draw out the energy from your body and fire that instead of bullets. But the first option would probably look a bit cooler.
